There is something just so utterly intoxicating about the way Honda's Super Blackbird blends such enormous raw power with such velvety-smooth refinement. By rights, 152 claimed horses - which still equates with over 130bhp at the rear wheel - should make the 223kg Blackbird a big handful, yet somehow Honda's wizards have managed to break those horses, and train them to perform a synchronized ballet that would be the envy of Spain's famed dancing stallions... Then there's the fact that some 10 years after its introduction, the Blackbird is still on the pace despite receiving very little in the way of modifications or upgrades. Released late in 1996, the CBR1100XX went from carburettors to electronic...

So now that we have the basic idea in our head, I'd like to expand on this view of how fighters are perceived around the world.  Let's start with the motherland of Streetfighters. The grand old U.K. Home to Big Ben, Fish and Chips...

Tough State Laws = Lesser Grave Crashes
Tough state laws when it comes to driving may be something that teenage drivers would not welcome with open arms. But then again, a study that has just been conducted by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety did say that those states with tougher laws actually have lesser grave crashes. This just reflects that such laws may not be quite a big deal for some but they do help out a lot keep teens and other motorists safe while driving.
